Tasting Notes: This wine has a wonderful, harmonious bouquet of copious blackberry, briary, cedar, and tobacco notes that just feels effortless. The very harmonious palate offers pure black fruit laced with graphite. It displays moderate weight and fine acidity and is quite linear and focused on the finish.
The Domain: Henri Martin’s lifetime achievement undoubtedly created Château Gloria. Row by row, he patiently and systematically negotiated with his friends in the commune of Saint-Julien to buy these various “cru classé” parcels to eventually make up the Château Gloria estate. So why isn’t the Château a “cru classé”? The answer is simple: it didn’t exist during the 1855 classification. This Saint-Julien Château, nevertheless, lives up to its name as one of the top producers in the region today. Esprit de Gloria is the second estate wine made from the younger vines. It reflects the typicity of the Saint-Julien appellation and may be enjoyed younger. It is an excellent introduction to the beauty of Saint-Julien.
